An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Vera Miles is an actress from the 1950s to the 1980s. She was "Miss Kansas" in 1948 and came in third in the Miss America Pageant that year. She was signed by John Ford and appeared in two of his best movies, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Searchers. She was then signed by Alfred Hitchcock, who saw her as "the new Grace Kelly", and she appeared in two of his movies, Psycho and the Wrong Man, and she was also in several episodes of his TV show. She was supposed to star in Vertigo, but she had to withdraw when she became pregnant, and she had four children in the 1950s and 1960s, and that severely curtailed her career, which likely would have included many more memorable film roles. As of 2021, Miles is still alive at the age of 91! Important Added Info: The coloring of the transparency has changed over the years, and our consignor prepared a "color corrected" version (through PhotoShop), and we have an image of the transparency as it appears alongside the color corrected version, but of course, the auction is for a single transparency. Note that this is the CAMERA ORIGINAL transparency that was in the camera when the photographer shot this transparency! This is a very special auction of 444 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that every one of these 444 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased. Condition: good to very good. The color of the transparency has changed from how it originally was, but otherwise, it is in nice condition. We have supplied a second image that is "color corrected" to look as it originally was (see above). Learn More about condition grades
